Specialty Alloy Processing
Titanium Alloys Processing
& Global Supply
Operating from Singapore, ABCOM sources, processes, and supplies specialty titanium alloys — lightweight, high-strength aerospace and medical-grade materials including CP titanium and Ti 6-4 — to industrial buyers and recyclers across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Our 25-year track record in specialty metal flows underpins every transaction.
Material Overview
What Are Titanium Alloys?
Titanium alloys combine an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio with outstanding corrosion resistance. Titanium is approximately 45% lighter than steel yet matches it in strength — a combination no other structural metal achieves at comparable scale. This makes titanium irreplaceable in weight-critical applications across aerospace, medical, and advanced engineering.
Alloying titanium with elements such as aluminium, vanadium, and molybdenum further enhances its mechanical properties. The result is a family of materials ranging from pure corrosion-resistant grades used in chemical and medical applications, through to high-strength aerospace alloys capable of operating at elevated temperatures under sustained structural load.
ABCOM trades and processes titanium alloy scrap and primary forms including CP titanium and aerospace-grade material. Our technical grading capability ensures material entering downstream supply chains meets the exacting compositional requirements of titanium producers and aerospace fabricators.

End Markets
Industries & Applications
Aerospace
Airframe structures, engine components, and fasteners depend on titanium alloys to reduce weight without sacrificing structural integrity. Ti 6-4 is the standard aerospace specification for both structural and engine applications.
Medical & Implants
Surgical implants, prosthetics, and dental components require biocompatible, non-reactive materials with excellent corrosion resistance. CP titanium and Ti 6-4 are the primary grades used in medical device manufacture.
Marine & Offshore
Seawater piping, heat exchangers, and submarine components require resistance to chloride corrosion that titanium provides at a fraction of the weight of comparable stainless grades.
Chemical Processing
Reactors and vessels handling aggressive acids, chlorides, and oxidising media where titanium outperforms stainless steel in both corrosion resistance and service life.
Oil & Gas
Downhole tubing, riser systems, and offshore platform components require high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloys capable of performing in deep-water and high-pressure sour service environments.
Automotive & Motorsport
High-performance connecting rods, exhaust systems, and suspension components benefit from titanium's strength-to-weight ratio in applications where mass reduction directly improves performance.
Material Categories
Grades We Supply
CP Titanium (Commercially Pure)
Unalloyed titanium grades offering maximum corrosion resistance with good formability and weldability. CP titanium is the material of choice for chemical processing equipment, marine heat exchangers, and medical applications where absolute biocompatibility and corrosion performance take priority over strength.
Ti 6-4 (Ti-6Al-4V)
The most widely used titanium alloy globally, combining high strength, low weight, and excellent corrosion resistance in a single specification. Ti 6-4 is the standard material for aerospace structural components, turbine blades, medical implants, and high-performance engineering across virtually every industry that uses titanium.
Ti 8-1-1 (Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V)
A high-modulus titanium alloy developed specifically for aerospace applications requiring stiffness alongside low weight. Ti 8-1-1 offers a higher elastic modulus than Ti 6-4, making it well suited to compressor blades and aerospace structural components where deflection under load is a critical design constraint.

Our Capabilities
Processing & Recycling
ABCOM processes titanium alloy scrap sourced from aerospace manufacturing, medical device production, and industrial decommissioning. These streams include Ti 6-4 machining swarf and offcuts from aerospace fabrication, CP titanium from chemical plant retirement, and mixed titanium scrap requiring sorting and grade verification before reuse.
Titanium scrap recovery is highly valuable. The primary production of titanium via the Kroll process is energy-intensive and expensive, so recycled material commands strong pricing relative to its weight. Strict sorting discipline is essential — titanium alloy grades must not be mixed, as alloy contamination destroys compositional integrity and significantly reduces material value.
Our team applies rigorous identification and segregation procedures across all incoming titanium material, ensuring that Ti 6-4, CP titanium, and other grades are correctly classified and documented through to dispatch. Learn more about our operations on the about page.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What are titanium alloys used for?
Titanium alloys are used wherever a combination of high strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance is required. Primary applications include aerospace airframe structures, turbine engine components, surgical implants and prosthetics, marine and offshore hardware, chemical processing vessels, and high-performance automotive components.
What is Ti 6-4 titanium?
Ti 6-4 (Ti-6Al-4V) is the most widely used titanium alloy in the world, accounting for the majority of all titanium alloy production. It contains 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium, delivering a combination of high strength, light weight, and excellent corrosion resistance. It is the standard specification for aerospace structural components, turbine blades, medical implants, and high-performance engineering applications.
Why is titanium alloy scrap valuable?
Titanium is one of the most energy-intensive metals to produce from ore — the Kroll process is expensive and slow. Recycled titanium scrap avoids this primary production cost, making clean, graded titanium scrap highly valuable relative to its weight. Ti 6-4 and other aerospace-grade scrap commands particularly strong pricing due to its alloy content and the high cost of primary production.
What industries use titanium alloys?
The principal industries are aerospace, medical devices, oil and gas, marine and offshore, chemical processing, and high-performance automotive and motorsport. Any sector requiring strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant materials at elevated temperatures or in aggressive environments will specify titanium alloys over stainless steel or aluminium where performance justifies the cost.
What is the difference between CP titanium and titanium alloys?
Commercially Pure (CP) titanium contains no intentional alloying additions beyond trace impurities. It offers maximum corrosion resistance and good formability but lower strength than alloyed grades. Titanium alloys such as Ti 6-4 and Ti 8-1-1 incorporate aluminium, vanadium, molybdenum, or other elements to significantly increase strength and stiffness, at a modest cost to corrosion performance and formability.
